About this product
Celestron Luminos · Ultra-wide eyepieces
A wider way into the night.
An 82° apparent field changes the feel of observing: less like looking down a tube, more like leaning into the sky. Choose from six parfocal focal lengths spanning high-power planetary detail to expansive deep-sky sweeps.

The immersive difference
See the scene, not the edge.
Apparent field of view describes how wide the circular window feels to your eye. At the same magnification, the Luminos 82° window spans roughly 64% more angular width than a 50° eyepiece.
That extra room is useful as well as dramatic. A target can stay visible longer in a manually tracked telescope, surrounding star fields provide context, and large clusters or nebulae feel less confined.

Scale comparison is illustrative. It compares apparent field geometry, not image brightness or telescope performance.
The complete family
Six focal lengths. Six different jobs.
Shorter focal lengths produce more magnification; longer focal lengths show a broader true field. The most useful choice depends on your telescope’s focal length, aperture, focuser size and the targets you enjoy.

A practical starting map
Match the focal length to the night.
These are observing roles, not rigid rules. The same eyepiece can behave very differently in a 400mm refractor and a 2800mm Schmidt-Cassegrain—use the calculator above to translate the range to your telescope.

31mmSweep the Milky Way
Very large targets, maximum family field and navigation.
Start low, then climb. A longer focal length usually makes a target easier to locate. Centre it, focus carefully, then move to a shorter focal length if the atmosphere and object reward more power.
Check the mechanical fit
Barrel first. Balance second.
The number on the eyepiece sets magnification; the barrel diameter decides whether it physically fits. The heavier 2″ models also change the load at the back or side of the telescope.
1.25″ or 2″?
The 7, 10 and 15mm models fit standard 1.25″ holders. The 19, 23 and 31mm models require a 2″ focuser or 2″ diagonal.

2″ barrel
A 1.25″ eyepiece can normally be used in a 2″ holder with the correct adapter.
A 2″ eyepiece cannot fit a 1.25″-only focuser or diagonal.
Each insert barrel is threaded for filters matching its barrel format.
Plan for the payload.
The family grows substantially from the compact 7mm to the 1.186kg 31mm. On a Dobsonian, small mount or light focuser, that difference can shift balance or demand more tension.

Before letting go: secure the eyepiece, confirm the diagonal and focuser can carry it, and test telescope balance through the full altitude range.
Built for hands-on observing
Glass, grip and control.
The optical idea is ambitious; the handling is deliberately simple. A broad rubber centre grip controls the retractable eyecup, while anodised aluminium bodies and threaded barrels make the range feel at home in a serious observing kit.
7mm · compact 1.25″ high-power format19mm · the first step into the 2″ half of the family31mm · broadest field and largest payload in the range
Fully multi-coated
Every air-to-glass surface receives multiple coating layers to support light transmission, contrast and clean colour.
Twist-up eyecup
Rotate the broad rubber grip counter-clockwise to raise the eyecup or clockwise to lower it for glasses and personal eye position.
Parfocal family
Swap between Luminos focal lengths with little or no refocusing. A small touch-up can still be normal across telescopes and observers.
Threaded barrels
Add compatible nebula, colour or neutral-density filters directly to the insert barrel; match the filter diameter to the eyepiece.
From case to first light
Four calm steps at the telescope.
Eyepieces are simple to install, but a careful routine protects the barrel, the telescope and the object you just spent time finding.
Start low
Use a longer focal length to locate and centre the target. Check that the eyepiece barrel matches the focuser or diagonal.
Seat and secure
Loosen the holder, insert the chrome barrel fully, then tighten gently until snug. Do not overtighten or mark the barrel.
Focus and set eye height
Focus on the target, then rotate the rubber grip to place the eyecup where the full field is comfortable and stable.
Increase with purpose
Move to a shorter focal length for more detail. If the image becomes soft, dim or restless, step back to lower power.
Care for the optical surfaces
Keep both dust caps on whenever the eyepiece is not in use.
Remove loose dust with a clean blower before touching a lens surface.
Use optical-grade cleaning supplies sparingly; never use household glass cleaner.
Store dry and capped. The Luminos eyepieces are not waterproof.
Allow dew to evaporate in a safe, ventilated place before sealing the eyepiece away.

Before you choose
Luminos questions, answered.
Does selecting a variant include all six eyepieces?
No. Each variant is one individual Luminos eyepiece in the selected focal length. The page covers all six so you can compare them accurately before choosing.
Which Luminos focal length should I buy first?
Start by entering your telescope details in the calculator. Look for a useful gap in your existing eyepieces rather than duplicating a similar magnification. A lower-power option is often the most forgiving first view; shorter focal lengths are more dependent on aperture, collimation and atmospheric steadiness.
Will the 19, 23 or 31mm fit my 1.25″ telescope?
Not in a 1.25″-only holder. Those three models have 2″ barrels and require a compatible 2″ focuser or 2″ diagonal. A 1.25″-to-2″ adapter enlarges the holder for smaller eyepieces; it cannot make a 2″ eyepiece fit a smaller opening.
What does parfocal mean in real use?
The six Luminos eyepieces are designed around a common focus position, so switching within the family usually needs little or no focuser movement. Small differences in eyesight, telescope accessories and seating can still call for a fine adjustment.
Are Luminos eyepieces suitable for people who wear glasses?
Lower the twist-up eyecup to bring glasses closer to the eye lens. The published eye relief is 12mm on the 7 and 10mm, 17mm on the 15mm, 20mm on the 19 and 23mm, and 27mm on the 31mm. Whether you can see the complete 82° field depends on your frames, facial geometry and required eye position.
Can I use filters or a Barlow lens?
Yes, when the accessory matches the barrel format and mechanical load. Each Luminos barrel is filter-threaded. A compatible Barlow increases magnification, so calculate the resulting power before use—especially with the 7 and 10mm models.
Is the 31mm automatically the brightest or best deep-sky choice?
No single eyepiece is best for every telescope. The 31mm gives the broadest Luminos true field, but in a fast telescope it may produce an exit pupil larger than your eye can use. Sky brightness, focal ratio, obstruction, balance and target size all matter. The calculator helps reveal that trade-off.
Are these eyepieces waterproof?
No. Celestron lists every Luminos eyepiece as not waterproof. Protect them from rain and spray, dry dew before storage, and keep the caps fitted when they are out of the telescope.
Official help and specifications
Keep the references close.
Setup guidance, the manufacturer’s full eyepiece chart and local help from Jacobs Digital.
Choose the Luminos focal length that best complements your telescope. If you are between two sizes, compare magnification, true field, exit pupil and barrel format—not just the millimetre number.
